ARCHIVES

Archiving and digitisation of paper-based items has taken a major leap in the past decade. While, government and commercial sector has a defined policy of archiving and digitisation, private collections with smaller organisations and families in India are yet to come up with a defined strategy.

DMC helps to private entities in different interphase of archiving and digitisation. Firstly, it creates a strategy of regarding private archives, determining the value of the archive, examining the collectible gradation of the archives, conservation of archives, advisory on housing the physical and the digitised version and finally the curative conservation of the entire collection.

As per the policies, DMC maintains high-level security and confidentiality concerns. Under any circumstances, it does not disclose the identity and resources of its clients with any outside agency or public at large.
